Julieta Venegas plays at Nokia Theatre on Friday as part of her “El Presente” tour. Her buddy (and longtime collaborator) Ceci Bastida will be the opening act.

We love the fact that after all these years, Julieta is as candid, good-humored and interesting as always. Just watch our interview with her to see what we mean. Even if you think her music went too pop or her eyebrows are too bushy, you still want La Juli to be the mother of your children, or your best friend. Or both.
